Where do I start? 2008 it was Mendenhall and when Limas Sweed fell to us I could not have been happier with those picks. 2009 was Percy Harvin. 2010 was full of favorites for me. Earl Thomas was the big one, Pouncey, CJ Spiller, Brandon Spikes, Aaron Hernandez (no gator bias from me at all lol). 2011 was DeMarco Murray. Man i wanted him in the 3rd. Last year was Dont'a Hightower and Chris Rainey.

This year I have a a few again like 2010. Jarvis Jones is at the top of my list. Te'o, Elam, Lattimore, Mathieu are my guys this year.

When we got pouncey i was conceding earl wasnt gonna be there. I KNEW we were taking sweed when the jags traded up to take groves.

I wanted Michael Oher so ****ing bad too...i was damn near in tears as he fell...would have taken him #1 this year, how buffalo took maybin over oher and orakpo ill never understand. Oher was better than Smith, Smith, and Monroe imo...and today i think that can pretty much stand....even though Eugene and Andre are pretty good players and Oher isnt a world beater like i thought he would be. One of the more over analyzed players ive ever seen, the dude could play. Killed me to see where he ended up

I know i remember being pumped with first 2 picks... sampsonite.... i was way off

Mike MAuti in the 5th. Colbert said they'd still take a risk then he's my risk. I need to watch Walter Stewart from Cincy. Mike Mayock was quoted as saying he'd be a top 10 pick if his medical checked out. Hs medical issue is a birth defect he's played with all his life. If he's as good as they say I'm pounding the table for him in the 4th if our medical team cleared him after he visits.

BAsed on some mocks after the combine some have the following people on the board.

Cooper
Austin
Vacarro
Eifert
Moore
Jones
After the combine I feel we need playmakers on Offense and based on what was whispered to Jim Wexell(No March Massacre of healthy starters) most Long in the tooth vets will be back. I feel in rounds 2-6 they can get a future Safety,LB,TE,RB.
RD 1 Cooper to complete the line or Austin as your playmaker who should excel in the new zone scheme & passing game. I'm thinking RAndle El with Willie Parker Speed.
If both are gone I want Eifert! Playmaker.

Wow. This post triggers many thoughts. My position is that we gotta go LB early in the draft, but I would love to have Eddie Lacy and a healthy O-line that can give him holes. I don't think the Steelers will go power back in the first round, even though we need it.

In the face of so many needs, it's hard not to feel paralyzed. All I really have is faith in Colbert.
